A Modest Proposal
ISBN 9788199113596
Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal is a powerful satirical reflection on the economic, social, and ethical conditions existing in eighteenth-century Ireland. Using the character of an unemotional reformer, the essay makes the distressing proposal of selling underprivileged children for subsistence, highlighting the callousness inherent in utilitarian thinking and societal apathy. Swift employs piercing irony, logical mimicry, and measured humor to translate rationality into a moral denunciation, resulting in a text of lasting relevance that denounces unfairness and warns against harsh governmental policies.
